He has always been smart and knows how to behave. He could see Qin Si's attitude and became more and more determined about which side he should go. He immediately followed Qin Si's example and slowly sent a message in the group.
[I am also here to attend Miss Qiao's graduation banquet. Wang Ye and the others are here, as are Elder Ye and the Wei family. It's a pity that Miss Jiang didn't have time to come back. It's such a pity.]
[… ]
No one spoke in the group for a long time, but no one cared about being decent. After seeing the photos and the message sent by Zhang Yang in the group, they didn't care about anything else and started to make phone calls to inquire.
*
On the other hand, at Mr. Jiang's place, his cell phone has been ringing non-stop since Yuan Yongqin, Qin Si and others came, plus people from the Ye family, the Wei family, and other top circles in Beijing came.
Many people who had refused to come when he personally called to invite them before now all came up to him with a fawning attitude and asked whether the banquet had started and whether they could still come.
An hour ago, Mr. Jiang would have loved to have more people come.
But now it was different from before. He didn't answer any calls and let the phone keep ringing. Later, he felt that the ringing phone was too annoying, so he turned the phone to silent mode. Out of sight, out of mind!
He has retired from the circle and doesn't have to answer the phone.
Jiang Zongnan was still in his prime, so it was possible for him to make further progress. Therefore, he had to answer the calls on his mobile phone.
There were too many calls. He answered more than ten of them. He walked back with a headache and said to his father, "Dad, the Jian family and the Huangfu family called and said they had time again and wanted to attend Nian Nian's entrance banquet. I turned them all down. Is that not good?"
People called him with flattering faces and exchanged a lot of pleasantries, wanting to attend the graduation banquet, but he refused them all, which was somewhat offensive.
Mr. Jiang has been immersed in the world of fame and fortune for many years and has long developed a calm mind.
Hearing him ask herself anxiously, she picked up the tea in front of her, took a sip, raised her eyelids, and looked at him, and she knew what he was worried about.
However, Jiang Zongnan treated Qiao Nian well and loved her from the bottom of his heart. He didn't say much and gave him a few pointers: "What's wrong with that? When we called them to ask them to come, they said they were busy. Now they are free again. Of course we can't have a 'spot', otherwise how will people view our family? If we get slapped in the face, can we just put our faces back up after being given some sunshine?"
"Remember, people should have some backbone. The more backbone you have, the more people will look up to you! If you don't have backbone, you may think you are giving face to others, but they may not think you are giving face to them and think you are easy to bully!"
Jiang Zongnan held the phone in his hand, his brows gradually relaxed, and he was not as worried as before. After thinking about it, he thought of Jiang Xianrou who he had tried to kill but refused to come back, and his headache started again.
He was too embarrassed to mention Jiang Xianrou in front of Mr. Jiang, and only said: "I just heard from Mr. Qin and Yuan Yongqin that they came here for Nian Nian. When did Nian Nian know so many people..."
He was originally worried that no one would come to Qiao Nian's graduation party, but he didn't expect so many people to come. The small hall they booked was almost full.
So when he rejected those who called him and wanted to come over by saying "there is no room here", he was not simply trying to humiliate them.
But there were indeed few empty seats in the place they booked, as it was all occupied by people who kept arriving.
